I will keep this short & simple as I am a serious need of some beauty/health sleep.  Some of you may have noticed that my site was down for a couple of days this past Labor Day weekend.  I just want to thank God that all the mess has been resolved and VP Health & Fitness is back up and running again. 

Through all the chaos and insanity, I started up a new blog on Blogger in my attempt to try and save all that I possibly could.  I will still leave that site up but will be doing most, if not all, of my updates and post here on wordpress.

I apologize for any inconvenience that his may have caused and thank you those that have given me advice, words of support and understanding.  I appreciate you all VERY MUCH!!!!

Now…. back to blogging — and for me, some much needed catch up on my sleep. 

I will be back tomorrow to update on my various weekly program updates.

Good afternoon & Good night world!

Well… almost.  :D  I still struggle with some areas of nutrition… but I take it day by day & so far it’s helped me lose over 40 inches & 30 lbs of fat!  Here are my results:

An email I received from SparkPeople.com:

I am a slow walker, but I never walk backwards.
- Abraham Lincoln, U.S. President

Taking two steps forward
Slow and steady has not always been an inspiring concept. It’s not as sexy as speed and sharp turns of direction. But it may be just the thing to keep you from running out of gas, while still moving you forward. Abe is telling us that the most important thing is to keep walking forward, no matter how slowly. Sometimes slowness can be frustrating. You might become impatient; you might get discouraged with a setback. But a setback doesn’t have to set you back. Simply using it as a learning opportunity can leapfrog you ahead again. From now on, try paying attention more to your direction and less to your speed. Be patient, focus on a little bit at a time, and soon enough, you’ll be further than you ever thought. Besides, it’s a good bet that by always looking forward, Abe rarely looked back in regret.

===========

SO… what do I think of this?  BINGO!  Hit the nail right smack in the head.  Slow and steady is my way of life! I don’t feel I need to compete with anyone, but myself. I’m happy to see slow changes that make me feel good and accomplished with my progress.  I must admit that I sometimes get caught up in the whirlwind of the latest and greatest fad diet(s) & quick weight loss testimonials.  Yes, it’s AWESOME to be able to lose 10 lbs in 1 week, let alone 50 lbs in one month… but then I ask myself, at what cost? 

My health? 

My metabolism? 

No… I WILL NOT go there ever again!  I will NOT starve myself just to be skinny. I prefer to do it the right and sensible way of 1-2 lbs a week while still being able to preserve my muscle.  It will be sooo much easier to maintain & keep the weight off this way.
